20 CC Questions - Self Bailing

[bring]

I am close to purcahsing a 1988 20 Seacraft CC. Other than cosmetic changes - its a stock boat (meaning no work done to deck or transom). Its a 25" transom. There is no engine currently on the boat.

Assuming I install an approx. 420lb engine (F115, Optimax 135; Suzi 140, etc.) will it self bail at dock? Do the deck drains remain above water.

I would be keeping the boat in the water full time so it must be able to shed rain water from our South FLA storms.

After searching the issue on this site, it would seem that the answer is "no" for the unmodified pre-tracker 20's; but I am not sure of the answer for the early tracker boats. I know that the ping pong ball scuppers are recommended.

Any comments would be appreciated.
